“…Moreover, these ILs are stable through its reusability and form a biphasic layer with the organic layer, which could ease the organic product extraction [219]. Among them, [HSO 4 ] − anion based ILs have been highly studied for various esterification reactions [206,220,221]. For instance, in recent works, Tiong et al [105,222] demonstrated the advantages of using [HSO 4 ] − anion based ILs, indium trichloride-1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (InCl 3 -[HMIM] [HSO 4 ]), in the absence of an acidic [-SO 3 H] functionalized group, as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the production of levulinic acid and ethyl levulinate biofuel.…”

“…The experimental planning and analysis was performed using the Protimiza Experimental Design program. 35 Based on previous experiments and the literature, 1,9,36 the influence of temperature and reaction time was evaluated using a design composite central rotational (DCCR) with factorial design, 22 including 4 assays in axial conditions and 3 center point repetitions, totaling 11 trials (Table 1). After the screening, a central composite design was developed to determine the response surface and the optimal point for the FF and HMF selectivity.…”

“…17,[19][20][21] Even though IL production is expensive, the fact that they can be reused decreases the effective cost of processing. 22,23 In this context, the fruit of the pequi tree (Caryocar brasiliensis Camb. ), popularly known as pequi, is an endemic and multiuse fruit of the Brazilian Cerrado biome, available over 2 million km 2 across the country, 24 has many uses, being applied in various areas of the industry.…”

In the current search for renewable energy sources, residual biomass has gained ground in the concept of biorefinery. Furanic compounds such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural (FF) and derivatives such as levulinic acid (LA), obtained from biomass, have emerged as important industrial chemical platforms. In this sense, this work aimed to use pequi bark, typical biomass and abundant in the Brazilian cerrado, in the production of HMF, FF and LA using the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methyl-imidazole bromide ([BMIM][Br]). The analysis of chemical composition of pequi bark showed that it has potential for use in the production of bioproducts, FF, HMF and LA, with yields of 65, 3 and 23.7%, respectively. High glucose conversion rates were found (> 90%). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to obtain the mathematical model with α = 0.05, verifying the significance of the second order model established for HMF (F = 0.00167) and FF (0.004494). The model fit is satisfactory, obtaining the coefficient of determination (R 2) for the HMF and for the FF of 0.9599 and 0.08422, respectively. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that pequi bark has good precursor capacity for use in biorefinery processes.

“…For processes where biomass is used as a feedstock, its selection is an important issue in the global process economy. Lignocellulosic material [22], oil palm mesocarp fiber [23], and waste fractions from the papermaking process [24] are just a few examples reported in the literature.…”

Novel Intensified Alternatives for Purification of Levulinic Acid Recovered from Lignocellulosic Biomass

The development of a bio-based economy has its foundations in the development of efficient processes to optimize biomass potential. In this context there are a multitude of molecules that can be either synthetized or recovered from biomass, among those the so-called 12 building-blocks reported by the US Department of Energy. Even if their identification and importance is clearly defined, research efforts concerning the purification or separation of these platform molecules are limited. To fill this gap, different configurations for the purification of levulinic acid recovered from lignocellulosic biomass are examined and compared in this work. In particular, hybrid configurations obtained by the combination of liquid-liquid extraction and distillation have been considered. It was demonstrated how a deep understanding of the subspace including all extraction-assisted simple column distillation configurations represents a fundamental step in the synthesis of different process alternatives. From a separation efficiency and economic standpoint, the proposed intensified liquid-liquid thermally equivalent configuration (LL-TE) and liquid-liquid side stream column configuration (LL-SSC) are promising solutions. Nonetheless, their performances are deeply interrelated to the purity target defined by the designer.
